Used Ford Focus for Sale in Portland, OR

The Ford Focus is a zippy car. It is larger inside that it appears, it has up to date features ( sync, cruise control, XM radio ) and gets good gas mileage. Also, it's an attractive car. It looks a lot like a Honda but about half the price, used. Although, the best thing about the car is its dependability. I have had this car for two years and have never had a problem. This last winter when an unexpected snowstorm hit Portland and there were cars broken down all over the place, I was fine. I drove slow and made it home in time for dinner. The only thing I would change about the focus is the hatch back cover (that covers the contents of the trunk. Mine is flimsy (attached by a string) and difficult to take off and put back on. Also, there is a smart key, If you accidentally get stuck with this key, you will be subject to parental control and there is no way ( that I have found ) to turn them off. I could not turn up my radio or drive over 65MPH one day and almost had a coronary.

Overall, the Ford Focus SVT is a fun, small but practical hatchback from the early 2000s. While its styling for the time is nice and the interior quality is still better than that of it's competitors, it's not a style that has aged particularly well and still has flaws that have accumulated over time.
